How to use current Drive name in WritePrivateProfileString()

How would i find the current drive name where my executable file is running?

I want to use WritePrivateProfileString() for saving a string in .ini file. I want to make the file name to be generic, as the hardcoding the full path or drive name is not a good idea.

Can anyone please tell me how to retrieve the current drive name to use in this API.

I am using this API something like this:-

WritePrivateProfileString(_T("device"), _T("i2c_address"), temp, _T("D:\log.ini"));

I don't want to hardcode D over here please let me know how can I make this generic.

I believe you can get the full absolute path of the running module using GetModuleFileName, for the active module you use:

GetModuleFileName(NULL,Buffer,BufferLength);
